    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Dumfriesshire
    Dumfriesshire Rare Plant Register 2020 Christopher Miles An account of the known distribution of the rare or scarce native plants in Dumfriesshire up to the end of 2019 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Holy Grass, Hierochloe odorata Black Esk July 2019 2 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Acknowledgements My thanks go to all those who have contributed plant records in Dumfriesshire over the years. Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 135 (2005), 423–442THOMSON; TOMBSTONE LETTERING IN DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY | 423 Research in inscriptional palaeography (RIP). Tombstone lettering in Dumfries and Galloway George Thomson* ABSTRACT A comprehensive and detailed survey was made of lettering on all accessible tombstone inscriptions in Dumfries and Galloway. Using statistical and other analytical techniques, a large amount of data was extracted. From this, comparisons were made with data from the author’s previous study of inscriptional lettering throughout Scotland. The distributions of a number of letterform attributes were mapped, in some instances revealing clear geographical trends. The interesting subregional groupings in Dumfries and Galloway identified in the initial national survey were confirmed when the comprehensive data were used, though the distinctions were not so clear-cut. The rise of three more or less distinct area profiles identified using 42 letterform attributes is likened to the development of a dialect or accent, not learned by imitation, but subconsciously acquired as a consequence of living in local divergent communities. INTRODUCTION for the study of local communities, traditions and tastes. Moreover, it can be used as a cultural Lettering on tombstones of the late and post- marker. This can be established through a medieval period is a subject that has been detailed investigation of specific lettering styles largely ignored until recently. The author (Thomson 2002) or by statistical analysis of data undertook a survey of gravestone lettering extracted from a range of seemingly abstruse throughout Scotland based on a sample of 132 attributes. The analysis of data based on 42 mainland burial sites (Thomson 2001a).

  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== L ==== Lady’s Well This well, with clear water running under covering stones now overgrown by bushes, is in Skyreburn Glen near the site of Kirkbride Chapel. Lady’s Well, Lady Well and Ladywell are common throughout England and Lowland Scotland. In most cases probably, and in a good many certainly, the name refers to Our Lady. That is probably the case here, given its proximity to the chapel dedicated to St Bride or Brighid (see Kirkbride above), who was known from as early as the seventh century as ‘Mary of the Irish’ or ‘of the Gaels’. Among many other powers ascribed to her, she was patroness of women in childbirth, and a late-recorded legend from the Hebrides even portrays her as midwife to Mary. A similar hint of an association between the Blessed Virgin and St. Bride is found in Kirkcolm parish in the North Rhinns, which contains St. Mary’s Well (marked as a historic monument on OS maps) to the south of the kirktoun, Lady Bay to the north, and Kirkbryde, with St. Bride’s Well, to the west. In the absence of evidence, we should be cautious of speculating, but it is reasonable to suppose that some beliefs connecting St. Bride and the Blessed Virgin were associated with these places, and maybe there was some cultic use of the wells, with pre-Christian roots. As suggested above, the cult of St. Bride may have been introduced in the tenth century by the Gall-Ghàidheil, and such beliefs and practices would have come with it.
